I think Claudius is a pretty bad guy in this story. But I don't think that we can't blame marriage of Claudius and Gertrude all on him since Gertrude is also responsible for choosing to remarry not so long after King Hamlet dies.I think the whole problem of the story began with Claudius killing King Hamlet. So in conclusion, Claudius could be considered the worst guy in the story.

I think Claudius plays a really good role in this story. He is the cause for all the conflicts and I like him when he's being cunning with his conspiracy. He and Hamlet always control people to do what they mind to depose each other.

As for me, I think Claudius could represent all the bad thnig happened in the real human world . But to a king, he maybe is not the worst one. In history many kingdom kill their family member to get the power, many of them are worse than Claudius. Whaterer, to ordinary people, he is really bad.

I remember when in class we talked about how Claudius maybe wanted to replace King Hamlet and become like him. He is clearly the main villain, but somehow I can't just purely hate him when I think about that.

Of course Claudius is the worst one in this story, but Hamlet is also not that good person. Both of them killed innocent people because of their own desire.

Claudius is a coward who thrives for money and power. He killed Hamlet's father for the throne by poisoning him.

I also think Claudius is the worst character in Hamlet. In my opinion, he is worse than Hamlet because Claudius was the one who caused all this mess. He murdered his brother because of the greed of power, married Gertrude, made Hamlet go mad, and planned to kill him.

Claudius is a bad guy. He's too obsessed with power. He would do anything to get what he wanted including killing his own brother. I dislike Q. Gertrude character because I think if she just explained to Hamlet from the beginning, and was a little bit sensitive of her surrounding, none of this would've happened. She was the main reason of all the tragic things that had happened. If she just waited to marry Claudius or just asked Hamlet first... it'd probably be a happier ending.

After doing the character profile and character statement, i realized how disgusting and selfish Claudius is, actually he is more like a coward he is sooo afraid of death since it would take away his power and position. every decision he makes is related to himself.

I agree that Claudius is the worst..he even tells us the reasons for his crime in Act 3 Scene 3. "I am still possessed of those effects for which I did the murder: my crown, my own ambition, and my queen." So, his motives were to become king, to become more important and powerful than he was. I also hate Gertrude, I don't think she really cares about her own son.
